The Plateau Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has again relaxed the 24-hour curfew imposed on the Jos-Bukuru metropolis.
This is the third time the governor will relax the curfew imposed on the area last Sunday.
Mutfwang imposed a curfew in the Jos-Bukuru metropolis following the looting of public and private assets by hoodlums in Jos North local government area of the state.
On Friday, the governor approved free movement in the area between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., effective Saturday.
He had earlier relaxed the curfew to enable the people to go about their business activities without harassment from security agents.
The Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor, Mr Gyang Bere, announced the latest development in a statement on Saturday in Jos.
He said there would now be free movement in the area between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m., effective Sunday
The governor’s aide said the decision followed an advisory by security agencies on the situation in the area.
“In light of the improved security situation in the Jos-Bukuru metropolis, the Plateau Government has further relaxed the curfew effective, Sunday, August 11.
“Residents are now permitted to move freely for their lawful activities between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. daily until further notice.
“Gov. Caleb Mutfwang in consultation with security agencies has authorised this relaxation.
“The adjustment is to allow law-abiding citizens to continue with their economic activities while maintaining public order,” Bere said.
